Gamer Youtubers
 
After seeing the thread upon James Rolfe reviewing TMNT 3 on NES, I would like to discuss my opinon on gamer Youtubers. I do like the AVGN's style of comedy, although I like it better in a smaller dosage I have found myself only watching a few of his videos in a day. I do like Cinnemasacre in general, and I feel they base their video schedule on quality over quantity. I really like this channel.
As for PewDiePie, I freaking HATE him. He is annoying and his video schedule is based on quantity over quality. I don't get the "bros" that support him. Now, I think he does some things right, like donations to charity off the money he makes, but this doesn't make up for his videos. I really only liked his Skate 3 videos, but it got really state after watching a few of them. His channel sucks.
Now, Black Nerd Comedy. He is a gamer, but his gaming videos are more based on gaming news, and a lot of gaming merchandise. I love his comedy, and unlike AVGN's videos, I feel I can watch a lot of his videos in one sitting. (And, yes, I know there is a Black Nerd Comedy TMNT thread, and I especially love those videos, but this is about the gaming content he makes.)
JonTron, Peanut Butter Gamer, ProJared, and BrutalMoose are again, Youtubers I really like. Although, I feel there style of comedy is very similar. But this doesn't affect my opinion on them. I like that they mix modern and classic games into their shows. I especially like PBG's Hey You! PIkachu! video.

Feel free to share your opinons on these Youtubers!

I like Pewdiepie in doses, but most of the entertainment comes from him getting scared from the horror games and not necessarily the character Felix portray as Pewdiepie.

I only watch AVGN/James. He's seems like a cool guy.

raph27 06-18-2015 07:23 AM

The only one I like is AVGN. The others are so cringeworthy.

Whatswiththeheadbands? 06-18-2015 07:30 AM

Markiplier and jacksepticeye are my favorites.

Netkeeper 06-18-2015 01:34 PM

I have a bit of a list.

Markiplier, AVGN, the Completionist, Critikal, Boogie2988, the Game Theorists, Adam Koralik, JWittz, Black Nerd, JonTron, TamashiiHiroka, Gaijin Goombah, Extra Credits, Yahtzee, dookieshed, Game Grumps, and of course, my absolute favourite, Jim ****ing Sterling, son.

Hmm
 
That's a shame for them, with you being their core audience. The only gameplay i watch on youtube is high round zombies, and it's never any specific youtuber i just search for it.

Most youtube gamers are all geared towards 5-14 year old kids.

I follow Cinemassacre/AVGN and that's it. Been a fan since 2006 and will be a fan until the channel dies.

I've watched a few JonTron videos. They were alright, I guess. His humor is a bit cheesy and forced, but he seems like a decent fellow.

PewDiePie, only know it by name. Never bothered checking it out.

As for the others mentioned ITT, I have never even heard of them.

Also, are those guys who tried to emulate AVGN back in 2006-2007 such as Spoony, Armake, that dickhead IrateGamer, etc. still around? :lol:

TheSkeletonMan939 06-18-2015 07:27 PM

PeanutButterGamer is hilarious when his humor isn't forced. You can tell when he's trying too hard on a video.

Same goes for JonTron. Dude's hilarious when he lets silly be silly, and doesn't try to force in extra humor.

IrateGamer is still around...kinda. Not many videos being uploaded.

Powder 06-18-2015 07:48 PM

Cinemassacre & Jontron. All the rest is sh*t.

TigerClaw 06-18-2015 07:50 PM

There's a lot of good Gaming Youtubers out there, I'm just not a fan of the ones that scream on the top of there lungs.

Sounds like Critikal would be right up your alley.

Peanut 06-18-2015 09:31 PM

They're all cringe worthy. AVGN is the only one I can stand and it probably has a lot to do with 1) watching him for a super long time and 2) him being a normal guy and not an actual scum sucker from the toxic games community.

I remember back when he had like one game review only. The Adventures of Bayou Billy. this was back in... 2006? 2007? Back when everyone was trying to do the "angry gamer" gimmick. It's the only video of his I've ever seen until this day and was surprised when someone a couple of years ago told me that he watched him and that he was actually quite a famous gamer on youtube.

As for Irate Gamer, he used to plagiarize AVGN stuff. Always found him to be a hack. But weirdly still achieved a lot of success.

Ninjinister 06-18-2015 11:51 PM

JonTron grew on me, but the rest are all goddamn cancers. EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM.

ProactiveMan 06-19-2015 01:31 AM

I like James Rolf's videos, Retsupurae, Boogie2988, The Game Chasers and I dip in and out of a few others. I've gotten into Arcade stuff lately too, like Arcade Impossible and John's Arcade. That stuff is really interesting.

I think people take this stuff too seriously though. It's just games related fluff for killing time; nothing to get hot under the collar about.

Cure 06-19-2015 01:54 AM

I like Game Theory.
